Hello,
I just got an email that says "Switch to the new version of AdMob today"
With various links. This seems like the main one
https://support.google.com/admob/v2/answer/3077517?hl=it&utm_source=admobupgrade&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=admob+upgrade
Then there was also a notification in the old page admob
We launched a new version of AdMob.
With the button "Upgrade"
I clicked the button and I followed several steps to register. In practice, I believe that I signed up to this new site as if it were a separate service fortunately without affecting the old site Admob (There is a function that is used to import the old data that I have not clicked) I checked contains all the data earlier, even though I checked out the advertising in applications and is still served. In a few hours will check also if the revenues, impressions, etc. are updated.
Do you have news about this?
Is there a deadline for forced into to this new site?
It will be mandatory to switch to this new site?
Is there any of you that is in my same situation? What are your intentions? Open a bank account or switch to another company that makes payments with PayPal?
It might be useful to make a petition calling for Paypal as a payment method?
Thank you for your answers and advice
I got the same email about upgrading to the new admob.
It says you can still see info in the legacy admob, but im sure they will eventually require everyone to upgrade.
I didnt go through it yet, but it makes sense they are doing away with paypal, google is trying to use google wallet for everything, and probably has a long term plan to replace paypal.
Google sucks
I am really starting to hate google. The change everything everytime and they are going to the wrong direction. The new look of the developer console is horrible. The new google play is horrible. The older versions of them were more transparent. Their support is horrible. Oh, wait, Google has no support at all! And the list could go on... at least that's my opinion.
Keep Paypal
Please keep Paypal as payment method.

new admob does not have paypal
Did you read all of the information Google told you to read before you upgraded? All of your previous payments are handled by legacy Admob. All of your earnings since you upgraded will be handled by new Admob. All of your previous earnings aren't visible in the new Admob. They seem to act as 2 separate entities.
You can access all of your previous stats at legacy Admob by signing into admob.com. The new admob is accessed through apps.admob.com.
Another important thing: after the upgrade, if you have advertising funds remaining in your AdMob account, you have to request a refund.

What about the earnings from legacy AdMob? I still have 15$ and don't know if/how/when I'll get paid.
Any clue?
In the documentation there is written that the payments will be performed using the normal method. After you have made the switch must follow the procedure as if I wanted to close the account (the old one) and you send the remaining earnings
In the old account now there is a note:
August 26, 2013: can not add funds to your advertising campaigns.
September 30, 2013: will stop the ads campaigns of the previous AdMob platform
October 15, 2013: last day when you can request a refund for the remaining balance. <----THIS ONE
The note appears headed to advertisers. Do you know if the terms also apply to the publisher or we have more time?
I don't know if publishers have more time, anyhow I think that is better to wait last payment of the first of October and switch to the new platform. :good:
Do you know how to upgrade to new admob? Is there any link to upgrade?
When I log in, I am redirected to old admob.
payment
Guys;
Really I don't understand admob payment method,
I got for one month 461$ but admob sending 394$ why so much different.... any clue?
Really am confused, why admob doing this.. why so much charging....?
how does it work with the checks? do they send them by mail and i can go to my local bank and cash-in?
Leave Admob
When the users have got so many options like inmobi, chartboost, revmob, appnext, why should one stick to admob. Also I think, admob will change its policy again as they are a leading ad network company and universally accepted one

Kinda annoying but I bought an app for $0.99 which is a cheap app when converted to GBP but I checked my bank and I was charged a overseas fees of £1.00 which kind of makes the app expensive now. Just wondering why google checkout doesn't do what the itunes marketplace does and do specific currency conversion for each region so that these fees don't happen. It's just so annoying because this was the first paid app I've bought and now I don't think I'm gonna be buying anymore until google do specific region currency conversions on google checkout!
ahh rant over.....
Anyone else had this problem?

Credit cards usually charge a fraction of this, like 2-4% of the conversion, many do so without any minimum fee. If you have a CC link it to Google checkout, if you have a bunch call CS and find their rates or go online (I know it's work, but it'll allow you to get more apps that'll enhance your experience.)
I can't suggest anything else, maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in, or try Googling.
This is one reason why we need to see a dedicated app or in browser android marketplace with prices converted before hand to stop stuff like this happening.
My brother was telling me the other day how his bank is charging him $1+2% on every foreign transaction, then I told him my bank only charged me 2.5% flat. Maybe changing banks is a quick solution. =p
I do agree Google should do something about this as is just discourages people from using the market.
but that fee is not charged by google market.
it is a fee your back charges you for the money conversion service, just like when i use PayPal
there is no way and it's also not google's market place job to show you those fees, as each bank has their own fee, and those fees changes frecuently, it'll be insane to keep track of the fees of all the bank for all the servers, for all over the world.

No it's not Google's place to display credit card fee's, but it would be a minor change to display prices in your local currency and charge you that rather than paying in Yen, USD, etc and being charged for it.
It's ridiculous I was charged £1.25 for an appl that cost £3.23... Google are big enough to be able to turn checkout into something similar to Paypal. I'll not be buying anything else from the market if this means my bank are going to charge me for doing so. Bottom line is there are no options on Google checkout it sucks..
This is rather annoying for me too, I wish I could buy bulk vouchers of some sort, or pre-load money so I could buy several apps in one transaction.

Plug, shameless (but I'm not their shill): use AppBrain to browse apps to buy, change the currency selection at bottom of page from "Original currency" to your local currency (but note below). While you're at it, you may wish to install the AppBrain App Market and Fast Web Installer apps from the Market to easily sync your desktop selection with your phone.
About Google doing currency conversions right in the market app: That would be easy (simple API call to their own or any other reputable currency converter) but the price will only be an indication.
It is NOT possible to show you the grand total (the bottom line on your bill) in your currency, as that would need to include any extra charges your bank will add for international transfers etc., which Google doesn't (want to) know, as previous posters pointed out.
If you have a CC linked to Google Checkout, you will receive an email immediately after validation of a purchase which shows the total amount your CC will be charged.
Just FYI, simply converting the currency does not take away the overseas charge.
Becoming a customer of real proper bank (or credit card provider) is the only solution to make it go away.
Yep.. this may be helpful, if you're in the UK:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/overseas-card-charges
Debit cards from Abbey, Halifax, Intelligent Finance, Lloyds TSB, NatWest and RBS all charge a per-transaction fee for foreign currency transactions. Credit cards all charge no more than 3% transaction fee, so are a better bet if you have one.
There are rumors of Google adding PayPal support to android:
bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-13/paypal-said-to-be-in-talks-with-google-about-handling-android-payments.html
Hope this is for real, it would be a really good solution to overseas charge problem.

There are no fees for online purchases. I've been paying with PayPal on Ebay and other sites for ages - buying stuff from China, Europe and USA. Never paid a cent of fees.
It doesn't mean they make Android Market purchases free of charge as well, but one can hope
i use paypal every day, and every time there is money conversion involved, they charge a transaction fee
What do you use it for? Selling or buying?

i just got charge $17.70 US for a conversion & service fee
You probably should check what you are being charged for.
Login to you PayPal account, and click the "fees" link on the bottom. You will get fee rates relevant to your account. This is what mine says:
I wasn't aware that PayPal charges a per-transaction fee, I thought it was just a percentage? I could be wrong though, but it's a big difference for small transactions.
If they let you use paypal, you could easily trade some USD/EUROS for your local currency and deposit them in paypal.
However Credit/Debit Card -> INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION FEE -> PayPal -> PAYPAL FEE -> CURRENCY EXCHANGE -> EXCHANGE FEE -> Google Checkout.
It adds about 250% to the price even once converted.
I will be signing up to sell my apps on Thursday Mostly be making live wallpapers and such.
Googles terms has this.
Developers must be approved by a Payment Processor for a Payment Account.
Can I use google checkout to recieve payments?
And what all payment methods can you use to recieve payments from apps?
AFAIK Google Checkout is the only option, but I do not have a dev account so I can't tell you for sure.
Not sure how to answer your second question. If you mean payouts from Google, I imagine it would either come in the form of a mailed check or an electronic deposit to your bank account.
There was an option to pay via your phone bill...dunno where that went.
Check the Google discussion groups. They're a pain in the ass to use, but this is asked and answered there over and over.
i know people are aware that at&t offers discounts via college's and/or employer's..but if those options aren't available to you, you can still get a discount!!
for new customers:
10% off monthly recurring charges
Waived Activation Fee
Free Shipping, and
Heavily discounted handsets
for already existing customers:
10% off monthly recurring charges
Waived upgrade fees (weekends)
Discounted handsets (for upgrades)
Free Shipping
to get the discount:
google student rate and go to their site.
their wireless promos are on the front page (you can't miss it).
go through them and you can obtain a discount phone & monthly bill!!
is there any way to go to an at&t location and still apply the discount via student rate?
Most carriers offer something for a lot of companies/schools. Just ask.
I've even heard people getting discounts over the phone just by asking nicely even if they don't qualify.
I have 25% with Sprint..
I get a 15% "discount" for being a union member.

Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
"Please send us an email at [email protected] with the following information: your first and last name, your AT&T mobile number, the last 4 digits of your social security number and your billing zip code and we will migrate your account to apply the discount to your bill. Please specify in the email if you would like us to forward you the confirmation."
Sounds fishy..
Can people confirm this is legit and isn't gonna screw me?

That doesn't seem very legit. I'd go into a store directly and ask for a student discount. The rep I talked to the other day said he didn't know if it counted for community colleges, but he said it did count for uni. Probably you just need a .edu email and then it's good, but yeah, ask.
sweet deal att has there, luckily i work for Allied Barton we get a major discount of 21%

i applied with student rate myself and i would call them for your own security and reassurance for yourself.
also check out their website. it's legit. but once again, check it out for yourself and see what your thoughts are on it.
just google studentrate
hope this helps!!
it's better than not having a discount at all.
it's worth a try.
I apply discounts for customers all day and never have I ever seen that before.
Try your luck here with your employee/school email.

I hope you know that they could easily sabotage your AT&T account and steal your identity with just that little piece of information that they asked for.
student rate offers a ton of discounts, not just cell phone deals.
it's a pretty good site to get a variety of deals.
great source.

my school gives 10% and the paperwork is lengthy..
i went through student rate and it was just easier.
i've purchased through them before so i'm comfortable.
i haven't heard anything bad about them. just read reviews.
I just called customer service and they said that they don't offer student plans...but then again...it was customer service. Hahaha.
i believe in order to get the discount you have to do it on student rate's website. they have a promo code or a link.
It depends if your school has a bsuiness account with AT&T or not.

you can apply them to a family plan but they limit you on the amount of lines that get the discount.
for anyone who cannot obtain a discount from their school or work.. it's better than nothing. right?

Attaching a card during registration was optional, and they won't automatically charge you anyways:
What happens at the end of my free 1-year membership?
You are receiving a full 1-year membership to ShopRunner. You have the option to provide your payment information that would be used to renew your membership at a rate of $79 annually. Even if you provide your payment information, your account will not be billed unless you actively go into your Account Settings page on ShopRunner.com and change your status to auto-renew your membership. As a reminder, your free 1 year membership has no obligation and does not require a credit card. The 1-year membership is absolutely free.

Thanks OP :good:
On a side note, you can get an extra 3 months for free by activating ShopRunner Central. To do that, after you sign-up, go to Track All Shipments/Orders, and sign up for ShopRunner Central to get a 3 month extension. Keep in mind that this grants access to your Gmail account for them to download receipts and orders from all of your online orders, not just ShopRunner orders. So open a second tab and have the page ready to cancel the Central thing. Make sure to revoke access to your Google account as soon as you see the credited time on your account. It should be immediate.
To add/cancel ShopRunner Central: http://www.shoprunner.com/members/ShopCentral.php
To revoke access: https://www.google.com/settings/security
I'm set up until 19 March 2014 now. Note that they run these promotions at least once a year. I've had ShopRunner nearly since the day they came out, and I've never once paid a penny to them for membership. This will be my third or forth year now. It's worth it for free Dominos pizza delivery alone. lol
EDIT: I just logged in to my account to check up on things, and I noticed that they seem to have made 2013 a free year for everyone. My account does not expire until 19 March 2015 now. Yay, I suppose.
How do you add the promo code if you already have an account with them? Or do you have to set up a new account with a new email?

If you currently have an account, there's a clever way to get in on the deal. Cancel your membership, then sign up again with this deal using the e-mail address of your now cancelled account. It will retain all of your shipping history and account info and extend your membership a year from the date you re-sign up. You'll gain at least 15 months, if you combine it with my suggestion above. There's a possibility that you'll get an extra year for free if you're quick about it. It seems like they're giving away a free year for 2013 for current members. That could give you a total of 27 months for free.

Hi,
I'm developing apps for a bit more than a year now, having a google dev account, admob account, etc..
This morning, I saw that my AdMob account had its payments on hold, without any mail or whatsoever (I'm having between 20 and 30€ of revenues per day).
However, my account is still valid and working, I'm still getting revenues from my different ads in my apps.
I emailed them, but meanwhile, does someone had that situation too ?
don't depend on Admob
I encountered the same incident too but 2 days after my account comes back to normal. The incident made me wonder: "should I always depend on Admob?".
So I decide to combine several Ad networks. It works. And I realize something about Admob:
Pros: It is reliable and has huge users database. Admob is backed by Google - a prestigious corporation who tracks every steps of anyone who use its service.
Cons:
- Its eCPM is low (I don't know exactly why but everytime I try another Ad network, they outperform Admob in terms of eCPM. I guess that Admob know it has advantages over competitors when it comes to reputation and users database, so It charge advertisers and publishers more)
- Its ban users more frequently & it's nearly impossible to get the explanation from them. (Some of my friends' accounts got banned because Google thinks they was cheating, while infact he didn't. It was very difficult for him to reach Google support to recover his accounts).
After combining Admob and with Airpush, Leadbolt, StartApp, ChartBoost, I end up with Adsota - a lesser known ad network. Adsota is an has much higher eCPM, 100% fill-rate, variousa ads format, and swift payment. You can find it by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, mate!
